[1.0.4] Mk2 Essentials

[Errol]

I second that motion. I'm really into designing mk2 shuttle style space planes, anything extra to play with is great.

Here is a patch for the nodes https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72893034/help/Mk2Essentials_Node_Patch.cfg

Awesome work.

Can I request a small monoprop tank. The stock one is good for O-10's but way too big for just RCS. Something the size of your battery there with an appropriate quantity of monoprom would be perfect.

[JoePatrick1]

I will try and update it this weekend

[Mecripp]

I kerbal up a docking port if anyone wants to test it

Does this play nice with nuFAR?

[Mecripp]

It would be tough for you to just try it, Has alot don't use ( nuFAR ) ?

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you just wrote.

I mean, does it have any voxelization issues (models), do some parts create negative lift (like B9's procedural wings) and other various issues?

[Mecripp]

Did you even look at what parts these are ? there no wings no large body parts so really what would it matter ?

The first patches of procedural parts fuel tanks had an issue where they did not voxelize properly, and procedural wings from B9 still have weird aerodynamic behaviour, so now I ask this question for every single part mod.

FAR was just recently updated. What he said was, install it and see, because few people have yet.

AFAIK the problems with procedural parts not voxelizing properly is unique to procedural parts, they must send a message that the part's geometry has changed otherwise FAR won't know about it. Static parts shouldn't have any problems with that.

Is there ANY way to also get a cockpit-less "Nosecone"? Maybe some kind of dronecore with more SAS (if that's a good idea) and some fuel to fill all that empty space?

This pack contains a mk.2 drone nose.

And here is a fueled mk.2 nose.

Thank you both. Edited May 18, 2015 by Vanamonde

I would love to see a mk2 vtol hinge with no engine on it, and open at the back.

Did you look at the thread 2nd and 3nd up and here is a new 2 http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/121224-1-02-Mk2-Expansion

EDIT- This is kerbal dancing all over the place hehe

Any plans on updating this to 1.0.2 anytime soon? Im lost without this mod!

I was going to do it this weekend but didn't have the time. Should have a bit of time on Wednesday evening though.

[JoePatrick1]

Now fixed to work with 1.0.2

[InsanePlumber]

Thank you for the update!

My little contribution, textures converted to DDS format.

Link to Google Drive - Only for next 48h.

>>> Remember to remove the old textures, they have the same names as those converted to a DDS format. <<<

@JoePatrick1

Please use them in the next update, if you want to.

[Nothalogh]

Aww yiss, we're back in business.

Just a recommendation/request, could you make the battery match the fuselage texture more? It kinda breaks the feel of the mk2.

Also, one more part for the Mk2 form factor that no one seems to have made is a radially mountable Mk2 section for side attaching cargo bays and such.

Cheers for those, I forgot that KSP was updated to work with DDS - I'll sort it for the next update (hopefully within the next couple of days) including a Mk2 radial point as suggested by Nothalogh above.

Any plans on having the engine use hotrockets?
